6 a.m. tour of the final days of Fulton Fish Market
One of the final tours of the Fulton Fish Market -- the nation's oldest and largest wholesale fish market -- will be held next Wednesday, Dec. 15 at 6 a.m. In January, the fishmongers will leave the 170-year-old market at the South Street Seaport and set up shop in the Bronx at Hunts Point. The South Street Seaport Museum is offering the 6 a.m. tour - reservations required, sleepyheads.
The Seaport Museum, by the way, is operating under a winter schedule until April 1. It's open only Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Update (1/24): The Post says there are problems at the new location and the fish mongers may not move until Spring 2005.
